The contest between Chelsea and Liverpool promises to be a fascinating one.
It will be the 12th time they have met while Jose Mourinho and Rafael Benitez have been charge of the clubs.
In recent games, the managers have avoided the traditional post-match handshake and Mourinho insists matters are unlikely to change.
"The shaking of the hands depends on we feel about each other," said the Chelsea boss.
"If it's just for the camera then I'm not ready for that. I don't care what people think or say - it's not the image, I care for the human feeling.

Benitez on the other hand appears more eager to let bygones be bygones.
"I have no problem shaking hands, I'll give him the opportunity to shake hands if he wants," said the Liverpool manager.
